Need to instantly calculate a sales tax rate for any location in the United States and Canada? How about an address validation guaranteed to match U.S. Postal Service data? It’s easy with AvaRates for iPhone.
With AvaRates iPhone, all you have to do is enter an address and you will instantly receive (based on connection speed) a validation or correction of the address, an accurate sales tax rate for that location, and a complete breakdown of the applicable tax rates (state, county, city, special jurisdiction, etc.).
Many people don’t realize that taxing jurisdictions (defined by local government authorities) and zip codes (defined by the United States Postal Service) are completely unrelated. Relying on a zip code to get an accurate sales tax calculation is like using a tide table to predict the weather.
The AvaRates iPhone App is provided by Avalara, the leading end to end sales tax compliance automation services company. Avalara’s advanced tax calculation engine is powered by an extensive database that is maintained with up-to-the-minute rules, rates, and boundary information reflecting the latest changes in the 14,000+ taxing jurisdictions in North America. The company’s address database goes beyond zip codes (5-digit or even 9-digit) to accurately locate individual buildings (homes and businesses) to the rooftop level.
If you work in the field and need the most precise address validations and sales tax rates available, AvaRates iPhone is for you.
If your company calculates and collects sales tax in multiple states, you may need Avalara’s flagship service called AvaTax, which integrates with financial systems to provide instant calculations, posts the results to the general ledger, and provides detailed reports for use in filing and remitting taxes.
